More thieving b******s
« on: July 27, 2013, 12:05:06 PM »
Hi guys,
I don't know this chap personally, but a couple of my mates have him added on Facebook and have been sharing this one around:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4723786266466&set=a.1176979278508.23133.1648916152&type=1&theater

If you can't see the link, here's what he says:
"Shaun Kelly

If anyone is offered or sees a 1969/70 Gibson SG Pro for sale anywhere, can they let me know PLEASE, after 35 years of gigging with it my baby went missing last night. I will be eternally grateful for any information.
Please share this people, I'm heartbroken. Thanks"

Here's a pic:

according to some of the later posts he seems to have got it back. I certainly hope so. I can emphasise with that length of time with a guitar or 2.

Good news if indeed he has got it back.

With the dust settled, I must say that's a beautiful SG, looks awesome with the Bigsby.

Indeed it does look like it's been returned! Too rare an occurrence, but glad it's all good in the end. A bit of a shocking way to find it, though, here's his latest status:

"Thank you for sharing people, but...... GOOD NEWS!
I had a phone call this morning from a wonderful, lovely man in Plymouth who found a guitar in a hedge by the side of the road in Plymouth last night - and it's my baby
Good things do happen occasionally, and there are still a few honest people around."

....

IN A HEDGE?
The utter disrespect and ignorance of some thieving @rseholes really makes me angry. (Understatement). Seriously not a way in which any instrument should be treated. But still glad it's back with him, more than anything else.

I did wonder that too, but then I know almost nothing about the world of Facebook.

Plymouth's not that big a place, and that status spread like wildfire in the area.

Not really sure how it came about, but it's defo legit.
